A more grievously disappointed or
badly sold audience nevci sat in Harper S
theatre than that which attended the
attempt of few semi, professional stock
actors to give DiNey's Famous "Adonis"
last evening. Tue audience WAS
composed strictly Of the male
sex, and this owing to the fore
thought of Manager Knell, who having
suspected during the afternoon that be
had been the victim of an imposition, stood
At the door aud refunded the ladies their
money rs they approached. Mr.. kuell
booked the entertainment as being under
Stctsous management and with the
promise OF thirty people and clever
performance, and be certainly showed his
good intentions in taking the pre-,
cautions he did to protect ladies from i'm
position. when il was too late to make a
correction in the newspapers. Mr., knell
called at the ARGUS office late in the af-
ternoon IN hopes of having statement
made, warning the public against the en-
terlaiument but the paper had gone to
press.
As to the performance it was a tumble
of trash a burlcsquc of the weakest kind
The songs and hits were far fetched and
stale and the entire entertainment OF
rather tame and amateur order.

Keep Your Alley Clean.

Chairman Winter, of the street com
mittee of the city council, reports great
annoyance in people dumping debris
into the alleys after they have been
cleaned, and allowing it to remain there
until carried away by the city. This i.
not right. The alley should not be made
permanent dumping ground, and what.
eyer is thrown there should be removed
as soon as possible Where it is neces.
sary barrel should be provided as re.
ceptacle for large quantity of the stuff
which is thrown into the alleys. and the
city scavenger will call around at stated
intervals and collect it. The alleys
should be preserved and kept clean.

ABOLISHING CESSPOOLS.

City Authorities Requested TO Take
Immediate Action In Relation to
Health Commissioner Craig's sent
iments.
At the late sanitary conference held
at Springfield, many matters of interest
to the sanitary condition OF the cities in
Illinois were discussed. An important
resolution WAS adopted, with the request
that it be published in the papers In cities
in this state.
The premabe of the resolution sets
forth that il is the sense of the cons
ference of health officers of Illinois that
radical changes in the existing sanitary
regulations and laws of many, if not
all, of the cities and towns is demand.
ed The conference demands that
prompt and efficient action should be
taken by the municipal authorities for
the remedy of the evil They resolved:
First The immediate adjustment, so
far as practicable, of the antiquated sys-
tenn of privv vaults and cesspools as re
ceptacles for excreta. In their stead, we
would recommend the dry earth closet
for all towns and cities. These closets
4re recommended for many reasons.
They are cheaper to construct and much
| more lasting than vaults. They are free
| from the dangers OF contamination OF
he air. the soil and the water, and hence
| recommend themselves to the good seom.
non sense OF every thinking person.
Second. We would recommend the
| passage of ordinances to prohibit the
keeping of hogs and diaries within the
limits of cities and towns, for sanitary
| reasons.
| Fourth. We heartily approve of the
| system of house to house inspection. as
| devised by the state board of health, and
most earnestly recommend it to all mum
cipal authorities who have not yet adopt
ed the same.
| A short time ago under the head OF
Sanitary Suggestions Health Com
missioner Craig recommended Just such
precautions as are taken By the above
resolutions. DR. Craig, in "A circular Is,
sued at that time, dwelt at length On the
water closet system in Rock Island. and
recommended the dry closet system wher-
ever it could he introduced.
